Surgery was 12/14 eating questions



Recommended Posts

I am at the puree stage. My dietitian has me having three half cup servings of high Protein foods per day and 1 Protein Shake to split up throughout the day...and of course Water. By the time I almost finished with my half cup serving of puree food I feel the squeeze type feeling which I assume is my stomach saying "hey you're done!" I'm doing well with not drinking a half hour before or after eating. What is worrying me is that I still kinda feel hungry an hour or so later. While I know I'm not consuming much I'm worried I have such an appetite so early. I haven't eaten more when I'm hungry but I want to know how to keep myself in check. Maybe I'm just bored. I just don't want to mess anything up. I have heard many day they really don't have an appetite so...why do I? :( I hope nothing is wrong. :/

I too was sleeved on 12/14 and I am on the purée stage. I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day plus some purée foods like Soup, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. I too feel hungry about every 2 hours. I asked my doctor about this and she said that was normal and when I feel hungry to eat or drink something. I also worry that I am taking in too much so I'm going to start to measure my purée in a 4 oz cup so i don't eat more than I'm supposed to. Try staying full on Water and Protein shakes so that your stomach doesn't feel empty.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
